We dont disagree by much

Proper followup for the Surgeon General from Gayle King would have been to ask for a specific number (transmission rate)

Still - teachers with comorbidities will be at risk - and it is their personal choice whether to return.  Trump administration cannot be held accountable for this


https://www.politicususa.com/2020/07/21/surgeon-general-transmission-rates-must-be-lowered-before-schools-can-reopen.html

Given the twin threats of loss of job and loss of unemployment benefits, coupled with Trump's threats to open the schools, of course he can.

Add to that the administration's refusal to stand by the perfectly rational CDC guidelines and you have a president who could and should be held culpable.

48% total approve vs 43% strong disapprove

Promising.

Bullshit lies from Rasmussen. Their changes lie outside reliability.

They recently had Biden up by double digits, like everyone else

And down and up and down.

Their changes lie outside reliability.

About the briefings: President Trump announced he would soon resume regular public briefings after discontinuing them in April.

But no task force members are currently expected to join Trump at today's 5 p.m. ET news conference, a person familiar with the plan tells CNN, who cautioned that could change. Trump is expected to hold these briefings a few times a week but not on a daily basis like he was earlier in the pandemic.

In other words, as I feared, this is not a return to briefings, but to daily campaign rallies because he has lost the ability to go do large groups in person.

NOTHING about this is about the health of the country.

Even if we were to accept Ras as an accurate barometer of political sentiment, and many do not, you're reporting apples and oranges, to spin a misleading narrative.


Strongly Approve-34%   

Strongly Disapprove -43%

Is at least apples to apples.

While you may find a smaller negative gap promising, the #s appear to bounce within a narrow MOE.

The only promise you accurately keep is your promise to consistently troll this board with inaccuracy, misleading info, obfuscation and BS.

Compare to Rasmussen's Made Up Reports:

A total of 36% of Americans say they approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president and 60% say they disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job according to the latest survey from the American Research Group. In June, 38% approved and 58% disapproved.
...
Among Republicans (26% of adults registered to vote in the survey and 24% of all adults in the survey), 79% approve of the way Trump is handling his job and 17% disapprove. Among Democrats (36% of adults registered to vote in the survey and 32% of all adults in the survey), 6% approve and 91% disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job. Among independents (38% of adults registered to vote in the survey and 34% of all adults in the survey), 34% approve and 61% disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president.

What his aim is right now is that schools are working toward a re-open

I think the APPROVES will vote for Trump - and the strong disapproves for Biden

That leaves 5% up for grabs

If the Rasmussen numbers were accurate, Trump's chances for reelection would indeed be looking pretty good.

They aren't, of course. Which is why you are seeing Trump change tactics re: COVID.  Among other indicators.

That Tigani went to prison for campaign finance violations related to Biden’s campaign, and that he cooperated with federal investigators, has been known for years. But the details of his attempted cooperation, including the fact that the FBI investigated the Biden campaign, have remained secret until now.

Woman sues city of Seattle over son's death near CHOP zone.

“If any foreign power recklessly chooses to interfere in our democracy, I will not hesitate to respond as president to impose substantial and lasting costs."

- Biden

Why haven’t we heard anything remotely like this from Trump?

heh

So 3/4 polled were Dem or independent?

And Trump still got 36%?

I'l take it

Again, on this you take a total non-position on the subject after accusing me of hedging my bets on the argument.

There isn't a school district in the country right now that isn't "working toward a re-open."  Trump's position is that they re-open, that "science should not stand in the way" of having in-person schooling.

Can't make it up.
